UK: Hand count for Holyrood election, The Herald Scotland (2010)
This article reports on the electoral authority's decision to stop using electronic counting in the elections for the Scottish Parliament. In 2011 elections, ballots will be counted by hand and voters will receive separate ballot papers for the constituency and regional votes. In the 2007 elections, citizens used three different electoral systems for the Holyrood poll and local council and this created much confusion ( and the invalidation of 150,000 ballots).
